本發明係有關於一種電連接器，特別是關於一種具有可拆卸之外部負載桿之電連接器及其使用方法。 The present invention relates to an electrical connector, in particular to an electrical connector with a detachable external load rod and a method of use thereof.

先前技術-本人之第6,017,237號專利 Prior Art-My Patent No. 6,017,237

羅伯特W蘇利文(Robert W Sullivan)之本申請案闡述並主張對本人之先前發佈之第6,017,237號美國專利以及第5,996,224號及第6,105,229號專利中所展示之發明之改良。該等專利中獲得專利之產品係一公型RJ45連接器，來自一電纜之八個電線及相關聯壓接與剪切工具***至該公型RJ45連接器中。當連接器外殼經壓接以固定電線之內部位置時，其內部所含納電接觸葉片亦承擔其中其等將配合地嚙合一相關聯母RJ45連接器之插座中之對應接觸件之葉片之位置。在過去十年以上，本人之所引用專利中所揭示之八電線連接器系統已在本人之商標EZ-RJ45下銷售且遍及全世界用於乙太網路電纜系統中。此等物項之獨特性及新穎性尚未受到挑戰。 This application by Robert W Sullivan describes and claims improvements to my previously issued US Patent No. 6,017,237 and the inventions shown in Patent Nos. 5,996,224 and 6,105,229. The patented product among these patents is a male RJ45 connector into which eight wires from a cable and associated crimping and cutting tools are inserted. When the connector housing is crimped to fix the internal position of the wire, the electrical contact blades contained therein also assume the position of the blades of the corresponding contacts in the socket of an associated female RJ45 connector. . In the past ten years or more, the eight-wire connector system disclosed in my cited patent has been sold under my trademark EZ-RJ45 and used in Ethernet cable systems all over the world. The uniqueness and novelty of these items have not yet been challenged.

彼等專利中所展示之該等發明之一個重要特徵係電線以使在各別電線對上傳輸之資料串流之間的干擾或串音最小化之一方式配置於連接器內部。另一重要特徵係其中允許***至連接器中之經色彩編碼電線自其前端向外突出使得一技師可觀看經色彩編碼電線以在將其等 突出端切斷之前驗證其等正確相對位置之方法。彼等發明之又一特徵係連接器總成及其相關聯壓接與剪切工具之配置以使得在將塑膠連接器壓接以將電線固定於其等在連接器內部之位置中的同時進行金屬接觸件至連接器外殼內部之電線中之經驅動嚙合及突出電線端之切斷與割斷。 An important feature of the inventions shown in their patents is that the wires are arranged inside the connector in a way that minimizes the interference or crosstalk between the data streams transmitted on the respective wire pairs. Another important feature is that the color-coded wire that allows insertion into the connector protrudes from its front end so that a technician can view the color-coded wire to wait for it. The method of verifying the correct relative position of the protruding end before cutting off. Another feature of their invention is the arrangement of the connector assembly and its associated crimping and cutting tools so that the plastic connector is crimped to fix the wire in its position inside the connector. The cutting and severing of metal contacts to the wires inside the connector housing through driving engagement and protruding wire ends.

隨著用於高速資料傳輸之電組件經製作為愈來愈小，資料速率、封包、頻率及速度增加，且對應電線變得愈來愈大，建立嚴格標準以確保其等恰當效能已變得有必要。FCC條例及其他工業標準需要精確構形及尺寸。一連接器外殼必須由充分可模製及可變形之一可模製注射材料(諸如GE Lexan材料)製成以捕獲電線並將電線保留於其內部。同時，外殼必須具有充分剛性以將電線及其等相關聯接觸葉片可靠地支撐於精確地正確位置中，以便與一母RJ45連接器之插座中之相關聯接觸元件配合。又一要求係所利用之可模製材料必須滿足保險商實驗室之一消防安全標準及其他國際物理、電、品質及效能測試標準。 As electrical components used for high-speed data transmission are made smaller and smaller, data rates, packets, frequencies and speeds have increased, and corresponding wires have become larger and larger, establishing strict standards to ensure proper performance has become necessary. FCC regulations and other industry standards require precise configurations and dimensions. A connector housing must be made of a moldable injection material that is sufficiently moldable and deformable (such as GE Lexan material) to capture the wires and retain the wires inside. At the same time, the housing must have sufficient rigidity to reliably support the wires and their associated contact blades in precise and correct positions so as to mate with the associated contact elements in the socket of a female RJ45 connector. Another requirement is that the moldable materials used must meet one of the fire safety standards of Underwriters Laboratories and other international physical, electrical, quality and performance testing standards.

本人之先前專利之圖式展示本人之EZ-RJ45連接器在其已銷售及目前正在銷售時之諸多重要細節，彼等圖在本人之三個先前專利之所有三個專利中係相同的。為了方便參考，此處將本人之先前專利之特定圖再現為如下：

Figure 107136349-A0305-02-0004-1
亦存在此處未完全複製但應理解之本人之先前專利之圖式中所展示之 其他重要細節。 The drawings of my previous patents show many important details of my EZ-RJ45 connector when it has been sold and are currently on sale. These drawings are the same in all three of my three previous patents. For the convenience of reference, the specific drawings of my previous patents are reproduced as follows:
Figure 107136349-A0305-02-0004-1
 There are also other important details shown in the drawings of my previous patents that are not fully reproduced here but should be understood.

如本人之先前專利之圖5中所展示之連接器20(此處再現為圖3)具有一伸長空心塑膠外殼22。經絕緣電線16進入其敞開後部端24且在內部之經導引路徑中並穿過外殼延伸。在外殼內，具有經銳化下部端之金屬接觸板36隨時準備刺穿對應電線之絕緣部且與對應電線進行穩固之電接觸。一相關聯壓接與剪切工具之上鉗口50具有將向下驅動金屬接觸板36至正確位置中以使其等前部邊緣配合地嚙合母RJ45連接器之插座中之對應接觸件(未展示)之一向下突出部56。電線16之端將不嚙合母插座中之任何接觸件。 As shown in FIG. 5 of my previous patent, the connector 20 (reproduced here as FIG. 3) has an elongated hollow plastic shell 22. The insulated wire 16 enters its open rear end 24 and in the inner guided path and extends through the housing. Inside the housing, a metal contact plate 36 with a sharpened lower end is ready to pierce the insulation of the corresponding wire and make a firm electrical contact with the corresponding wire. An associated crimping and cutting tool upper jaw 50 has a metal contact plate 36 that will drive down the metal contact plate 36 into the correct position so that its front edge matingly engages the corresponding contact piece (not shown in the socket of the female RJ45 connector). Show) One of the downward protrusions 56. The end of the wire 16 will not engage any contact in the female socket.

如本申請案之圖4[本人之先前專利之圖6]中所展示，壓接與剪切工具具有在一壓接與剪切操作期間提供外殼22下方之支撐之一下鉗口70。本申請案之圖1及圖2展示在外殼22下方縱向延伸之一控制突片30。控制突片30之前部端必須滿足由FCC標準所規定之形狀及尺寸標準以便將連接器正確地定位於一母連接器(未展示)之插座內。控制突片30之外端部分亦在外殼22之前部端處提供一小的砧座42，在向下按壓壓接與剪切工具50時，抵靠砧座剪切及切割突出電線端中之六者。 As shown in Figure 4 of this application [Figure 6 of my previous patent], the crimping and cutting tool has a lower jaw 70 that provides support under the housing 22 during a crimping and cutting operation. 1 and 2 of the present application show a control tab 30 extending longitudinally below the housing 22. The front end of the control tab 30 must meet the shape and size standards specified by the FCC standard in order to correctly position the connector in the socket of a female connector (not shown). The outer end portion of the control tab 30 also provides a small anvil 42 at the front end of the housing 22. When the crimping and cutting tool 50 is pressed down, it cuts and cuts one of the protruding wire ends against the anvil. Six of them.

在如本人之先前專利中所展示之本人之EZ-RJ45中，外殼22之前端壁大部分係閉合的，但具有開口42以供八個電線突出。在前端壁中亦存在部分地被接觸葉片36佔據之狹槽或凹槽，但外殼之前部端處之葉片36之橫向邊緣不延伸至外殼之前面。而是，其等自前端表面向後凹入。為允許將一母插座(未展示)之接觸葉片導引至彼等狹槽或凹槽中以與接觸葉片36之橫向邊緣進行面對面接觸，此係必要的。母插座(未展示)之配合接觸件係將進入彼等狹槽或凹槽以完成連接器之電路 之突出接觸葉片。電線16在其等被切割之後之裸露端不嚙合母連接器中之任何接觸件。 In my EZ-RJ45 as shown in my previous patent, the front end wall of the housing 22 is mostly closed, but has an opening 42 for eight wires to protrude. There are also slots or grooves partially occupied by the contact vanes 36 in the front end wall, but the lateral edges of the vanes 36 at the front end of the casing do not extend to the front surface of the casing. Instead, they are recessed rearward from the front end surface. This is necessary to allow the contact blades of a female socket (not shown) to be guided into their slots or grooves to make face-to-face contact with the lateral edges of the contact blades 36. The mating contacts of the female socket (not shown) will enter their slots or grooves to complete the circuit of the connector The protrusion touches the blade. The bare end of the wire 16 after it has been cut does not engage any contact in the female connector.

當將工具50、70致動以進行壓接與剪切操作時，其切割葉片60擦過外殼22之前端。在如在本人之先前專利中所展示之本人之EZ-RJ45連接器中，八個突出電線16中之六者-電線編號2至7-在砧座42上方自由地浮動且被壓接與剪切工具50、70可靠地一致割斷。此之原因係連接器控制突片30必須具有完全正確尺寸以便精確地配接於其形狀及尺寸由一FCC或工業標準規定之一插座內。控制突片30係足夠寬以提供僅用於電線2至7之一支撐砧座。因此，在本技術領域中對技師而言在連接器外殼已被壓接且其他電線已被割斷之後使用本人之EZ-RJ45系統來用手完成割斷電線1及8之端已係一實踐。本人之EZ-RJ45連接器中所使用之電線通常係CAT 5電纜中之AWG大小24，其具有每各別標準之一經證明資料傳輸速率。 When the tools 50 and 70 are actuated to perform crimping and cutting operations, their cutting blades 60 rub the front end of the housing 22. In my EZ-RJ45 connector as shown in my previous patent, six of the eight protruding wires 16-wire numbers 2 to 7-float freely above the anvil 42 and are crimped and cut The cutting tools 50, 70 cut consistently and reliably. The reason for this is that the connector control tab 30 must have a completely correct size in order to accurately mate with a socket whose shape and size are specified by an FCC or an industry standard. The control tab 30 is wide enough to provide a support anvil for only one of the wires 2-7. Therefore, it is a practice for technicians in this technical field to use my EZ-RJ45 system to cut the ends of the wires 1 and 8 manually after the connector housing has been crimped and other wires have been cut. The wire used in my EZ-RJ45 connector is usually the AWG size 24 in the CAT 5 cable, which has a certified data transmission rate of one of each standard.

如在本人之先前專利中所展示，八個電線16將穿過其突出之開口44在外殼22之前部端面之一下部部分中。用於接觸葉片之狹槽或凹槽在連接器外殼22之前端壁之上部區中，且在用於電線之水平開口列44與用於接觸葉片36之狹槽或凹槽之間存在一垂直分離。 As shown in my previous patent, the eight wires 16 will protrude through the opening 44 in a lower part of the front end surface of the housing 22. The slots or grooves for contacting the blades are in the upper region of the front end wall of the connector housing 22, and there is a vertical line between the horizontal opening rows 44 for wires and the slots or grooves for contacting the blades 36 Separate.

先前技術亦包含第CN2854844Y號中國專利、1997年發佈之第5,601,447號美國專利及2005年發佈之第6,905,359號美國專利。 The prior art also includes Chinese Patent No. CN2854844Y, US Patent No. 5,601,447 issued in 1997, and US Patent No. 6,905,359 issued in 2005.

本發明之背景 Background of the invention

一母RJ45連接器之接觸葉片(未展示)與接觸葉片36之前部邊緣精確地配合係有必要的。本人之EZ-RJ45連接器系統之實地經驗及投訴已展示對經改良效能之一需要。剪切與壓接工具50、70之操作經常趨 向於致使塑膠外殼20之一變形，使得電線與接觸件不精確地維持於其等所要尺寸穩定位置中。存在促成此結果之數個不同力： It is necessary for the contact blade (not shown) of a female RJ45 connector to accurately mate with the front edge of the contact blade 36. My field experience and complaints about the EZ-RJ45 connector system have shown a need for improved performance. The operation of cutting and crimping tools 50 and 70 often tends to To cause deformation of one of the plastic shells 20, the wires and the contacts are not accurately maintained in their desired dimensionally stable positions. There are several different forces that contribute to this result:

1.克服安放葉片36之摩擦力之滑動接觸力； 1. The sliding contact force that overcomes the friction force of the placed blade 36;

2.絕緣位移力IDC。此係將金連接器接觸葉片36推動至電線絕緣塑膠塗層中且與銅電線配合所花費之力。 2. Insulation displacement force IDC. This is the force required to push the gold connector contact blade 36 into the insulating plastic coating of the wire and to mate with the copper wire.

3.切割電線力-切割電線2至7所需要之剪切力； 3. Wire cutting force-the cutting force required to cut wires 2 to 7;

4.切割葉片之任何鈍度皆使問題加劇。 4. Any bluntness of the cutting blades aggravates the problem.

5.由於如在本人之先前專利中所展示之葉片60係自由浮動的，因此葉片之任何不對準亦使問題加劇。 5. Since the blade 60 as shown in my previous patent is free-floating, any misalignment of the blade also exacerbates the problem.

所有此等力皆趨向於以一非所要方式推動連接器外殼，使該連接器外殼扭曲及變形。此可產生必須摒棄之一FCC非合格連接器，從而導致時間及金錢之損失。 All these forces tend to push the connector housing in an undesirable way, causing the connector housing to twist and deform. This can result in a FCC non-qualified connector that must be discarded, resulting in loss of time and money.

由於本人之目前產品需要手動切割電線1及8，因此使電線中之所有八個電線藉由壓接與剪切工具切割及剪切以避免由技師進行之一額外手動工作步驟亦將係合意的。 Since my current product needs to cut wires 1 and 8 manually, it would be desirable to cut and cut all eight wires in the wires with crimping and cutting tools to avoid an additional manual work step performed by the technician .

本人之本發明之第一主要概念係使用具有AWG大小23之較厚絕緣部之電線且使每一經扭曲對保持於其經扭曲狀態中儘可能接近於將導電地嚙合其各別電線之金屬接觸件對以便改良連接器之電效能及資料傳輸速率。 My first main concept of the present invention is to use a wire with a thicker insulation of AWG size 23 and keep each twisted pair in its twisted state as close as possible to the metal contacts that will electrically engage its respective wires To improve the electrical performance and data transmission rate of the connector.

本人之發明之一第二主要概念係提供一經加厚前端壁(外部負載桿或加強件)。連接器外殼之外尺寸必須限於符合法律及工業標準，且較大電線必要地需要形成該連接器外殼之塑膠材料量之一減少。該 外部負載桿(或加強件)機械地支撐該連接器外殼及其所含納之該等電線兩者，且接著被連同突出電線端一起切斷以便允許公連接器與一相關聯母連接器恰當地配合。 One of the second main concepts of my invention is to provide a thickened front end wall (external load rod or reinforcement). The outer dimensions of the connector housing must be limited to comply with legal and industrial standards, and larger wires must necessarily reduce the amount of plastic material forming the connector housing. The The external load rod (or reinforcement) mechanically supports both the connector housing and the wires contained therein, and is then cut along with the protruding wire ends to allow the male connector and an associated female connector to be properly To cooperate.

本人之本發明之一第三主要特徵係一種方法，其不僅出於色彩比較之目的允許突出電線對之外端自連接器之前面伸出，且亦允許在電線仍扭曲之狀況下拉動及張緊電線且在其被切斷之前使其儘可能接近於其等分別相關聯之接觸葉片。此方法幫助改良電效能之品質且增加資料傳輸速率。 One of the third main features of my present invention is a method that not only allows the outer end of the protruding wire pair to protrude from the front of the connector for the purpose of color comparison, but also allows the wire to be pulled and stretched while the wire is still twisted. Tighten the wires and bring them as close as possible to their respective associated contact blades before being cut. This method helps improve the quality of electrical performance and increase the data transmission rate.

根據本人之本發明，用於該等突出電線之孔以及用於該等接觸葉片之狹槽或凹槽以與在本人之先前專利中所展示的大體相同之方式提供於經加厚前端壁中。然而，包含其中形成用於該等突出電線之水平開口之區之該前壁之該經加厚部分(外部負載桿)不包含將接納一母插座之該等接觸葉片之該等狹槽或凹槽。 According to my invention, the holes for the protruding wires and the slots or grooves for the contact blades are provided in the thickened front end wall in substantially the same manner as shown in my previous patent . However, the thickened portion (external load bar) of the front wall including the area where the horizontal openings for the protruding wires are formed does not include the slots or recesses that will receive the contact blades of a female socket groove.

當本人之新發明之經修改壓接與剪切工具割斷該等電線之該等突出端時，其同時切斷該前端壁之非所要厚度(外部負載桿或加強件)。該加強件或負載桿與外殼之該前部端壁形成為整體。因此，當該葉片起作用以割斷該加強件或負載桿時，彼加強件或負載桿繼續提供對該外殼之該前端壁之一穩定化支撐直至該切割葉片之動作完全完成且該加強件或負載桿已自該連接器外殼完全斷裂為止。 When the modified crimping and cutting tool of my new invention cuts the protruding ends of the wires, it cuts the undesired thickness (external load rod or reinforcement) of the front end wall at the same time. The reinforcing member or the load rod is formed integrally with the front end wall of the shell. Therefore, when the blade acts to cut the reinforcement member or the load rod, the reinforcement member or the load rod continues to provide stabilizing support for one of the front end walls of the housing until the action of the cutting blade is completely completed and the reinforcement member or The load bar has been completely broken since the connector housing.

藉助該前端壁之此經加厚或加強件部分，外殼22在該等電線被割斷之前、在其期間及在其之後更好地支撐該等電線及用於接納該等接觸葉片之該等狹槽或凹槽兩者。 With this thickened or reinforced part of the front end wall, the housing 22 better supports the wires and the narrows for receiving the contact blades before, during and after the wires are cut. Both grooves or grooves.

因此，在切斷該等電線之所曝露端時，本人現在同時割斷該端 壁之該經加厚或加強件部分，從而仍留下足以維持電線16及接觸葉片36兩者之正確空間位置之該連接器外殼之一薄的前端壁。該連接器接著正確地配接於其在一相關聯母插座或端子板中之經分配空間內。 Therefore, when cutting the exposed end of the wires, I now cut the end at the same time The thickened or reinforced part of the wall still leaves a thin front end wall of the connector housing sufficient to maintain the correct spatial position of both the wire 16 and the contact blade 36. The connector is then correctly mated in its allocated space in an associated female receptacle or terminal block.

換言之，藉由將外殼22之該前端壁加厚，本人現在使該連接器最初過長而不能配接於其在一插座或面板中之所規定空間內。但藉由在將該連接器外殼壓接且迫使接觸件36成其等與相關聯電線16之導電嚙合時割斷該前壁之過度厚度，本人減小該連接器外殼長度，使得其正確地配接，且亦改良正確地端接該連接器之最終結果。 In other words, by thickening the front wall of the housing 22, I now make the connector too long initially to fit in a prescribed space in a socket or panel. But by cutting the excessive thickness of the front wall when crimping the connector housing and forcing the contact 36 to engage with the associated wire 16 in a conductive manner, I reduced the length of the connector housing so that it fits correctly. It also improves the final result of correctly terminating the connector.

本人在連接器外殼22內部提供水平導引路徑以准許各自呈一交錯關係之四個電線之兩個水平列***至該連接器中且穿過該連接器。 外殼22之該前端壁中之孔或開口接著呈兩個單獨列，每一列中有四個孔或開口。毗鄰孔接著趨向於稍微彼此重疊或合併至彼此中。 I provide a horizontal guiding path inside the connector housing 22 to allow two horizontal rows of four wires each in a staggered relationship to be inserted into the connector and pass through the connector. The holes or openings in the front wall of the housing 22 are then in two separate rows, with four holes or openings in each row. Adjacent holes then tend to slightly overlap or merge into each other.

本人之本發明之另一及相關特徵係修改壓接與剪切工具，使得其在壓接操作的同時極有把握地割斷所有突出電線端。本人藉由將一對短支柱添加至壓接工具50、70之下鉗口70之橫向端而實現此特徵。 此等支柱以及控制突片30接著提供一經擴大且充足砧座表面42以便割斷以塑膠包裝之所有電線端；首先割斷上部水平列中之四個電線端，且接著割斷下部水平列中之四個電線端。 Another and related feature of my present invention is to modify the crimping and cutting tool so that it can cut all the protruding wire ends with great certainty during the crimping operation. I achieved this feature by adding a pair of short struts to the lateral ends of the jaws 70 under the crimping tools 50, 70. These struts and control tabs 30 then provide an enlarged and sufficient anvil surface 42 to cut all the wire ends wrapped in plastic; first cut the four wire ends in the upper horizontal row, and then cut the four wire ends in the lower horizontal row Wire end.

本申請案主張來自2013年8月19日提出申請之本人之美國臨時申請案S.N.61/959,189之優先權。 This application claims priority from the U.S. Provisional Application S.N.61/959,189 filed on August 19, 2013.

如圖5及圖6中所展示，經修改連接器外殼122具有形成為其前端壁128之一整體下部部分之一經加厚加強件100(另外稱為外部負載桿)。四個上部孔145之一水平上部列及三個下部孔144之一水平下部 列穿過加強件之固體材料形成。在某些實施例中，該上部列包含四個上部孔145以外的複數個上部孔145，且該下部列包含三個下部孔144以外的複數個下部孔144。此外，在圖5中，前端壁128之整體下部部分之經加厚加強件100另具有一孔146(如圖5中最右方之孔)，其中心位置並未對齊上部孔之水平列之水平中線上，亦未對齊於下部孔之水平列之水平中線上。如同上部孔145及下部孔144一般，孔146亦為穿過加強件之固體材料形成。在圖5中，孔146配置於互相平行之水平上部列及水平下部列之外。又，如在圖5中最佳看出，上部列及下部列之孔145及144，以及包含非位於上部列及下部列上之孔146係毗鄰地交錯且在一垂直投影上部分地重疊，且趨向於混合或合併在一起。加強件100具有由編號104識別之一平坦底部表面。在剪切操作期間，加強件100將支撐於彼底部表面104上，該底部表面又將擱置於一砧座上。在下部孔144下方存在形成底部表面104之一塑膠材料薄層。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the modified connector housing 122 has a thickened reinforcement 100 (otherwise referred to as an external load bar) formed as an integral lower part of its front end wall 128. One of the four upper holes 145 is a horizontal upper row and one of the three lower holes 144 is a horizontal lower part Columns are formed through the solid material of the reinforcement. In some embodiments, the upper row includes a plurality of upper holes 145 other than the four upper holes 145, and the lower row includes a plurality of lower holes 144 other than the three lower holes 144. In addition, in FIG. 5, the thickened reinforcement 100 of the entire lower part of the front end wall 128 has a hole 146 (the rightmost hole in FIG. 5), the center of which is not aligned with the horizontal row of the upper hole The horizontal centerline is also not aligned with the horizontal centerline of the horizontal row of the lower hole. Like the upper hole 145 and the lower hole 144, the hole 146 is also formed by the solid material passing through the reinforcement. In FIG. 5, the holes 146 are arranged outside the horizontal upper row and the horizontal lower row that are parallel to each other. Also, as best seen in FIG. 5, the holes 145 and 144 of the upper and lower rows, and the holes 146 that are not located in the upper and lower rows are adjacently staggered and partially overlapped in a vertical projection. And tend to mix or merge together. The reinforcement 100 has a flat bottom surface identified by the number 104. During the shearing operation, the reinforcement 100 will be supported on the bottom surface 104, which in turn will rest on an anvil. Below the lower hole 144 there is a thin layer of plastic material that forms the bottom surface 104.

如在圖5中最佳看出，在外殼122之前壁上，於加強件100上方存在一上部垂直區132，用於接觸葉片36之狹槽或凹槽130位於該上部垂直區中。存在八個此等狹槽以容納八個接觸板36。圖6之剖視圖展示佔據對應狹槽或凹槽130之一個接觸葉片36。 As best seen in FIG. 5, on the front wall of the housing 122, there is an upper vertical area 132 above the reinforcement 100, and the slot or groove 130 for contacting the blade 36 is located in the upper vertical area. There are eight such slots to accommodate eight contact plates 36. The cross-sectional view of FIG. 6 shows one contact blade 36 occupying a corresponding slot or groove 130.

如圖6中所展示，連接器外殼122之底部壁指定為124且其底部表面指定為126。當將連接器裝載有電線時，其等將在延長空心連接器外殼之長度之適合導引路徑中且亦將延伸穿過孔144、145及146並自加強件100之前側向外突出。孔144、145及146具有延伸部分，該等延伸部分對應於外殼122中之孔部分而形成於突出之加強件100中。 As shown in FIG. 6, the bottom wall of the connector housing 122 is designated as 124 and the bottom surface thereof is designated as 126. When the connector is loaded with wires, it will be in a suitable guiding path extending the length of the hollow connector housing and will also extend through the holes 144, 145, and 146 and protrude outward from the front side of the reinforcement 100. The holes 144, 145 and 146 have extension portions formed in the protruding reinforcement 100 corresponding to the hole portions in the housing 122.

由於圖6係一剖視圖，因此其展示佔據狹槽130中之一對應者之 接觸葉片36中之一者。 Since FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view, it shows that it occupies one of the corresponding slots 130 Contact one of the blades 36.

如亦在圖6中所指示，加強件100之塑膠材料與外殼122之前端壁128形成為整體。此係極其重要的，此乃因當切斷加強件100及其所含納之經包裝電線時，該加強件繼續機械地支撐前端壁128直至剪切完全完成為止。 As also indicated in FIG. 6, the plastic material of the reinforcement 100 and the front end wall 128 of the housing 122 are formed integrally. This is extremely important because when the reinforcement 100 and the packaged wires contained therein are cut, the reinforcement continues to mechanically support the front end wall 128 until the cutting is completely completed.

如圖6中所展示，加強件100之上部表面具有緊鄰連接器外殼之平坦上部面132之一小凹槽102。彼凹槽之目的係在將切斷加強件及電線端時導引切割葉片60之動作。 As shown in FIG. 6, the upper surface of the reinforcement 100 has a small groove 102 adjacent to the flat upper surface 132 of the connector housing. The purpose of the groove is to guide the action of the cutting blade 60 when the reinforcing member and the wire end are to be cut.

現在參考圖7，其展示在裝載有經絕緣電線時之連接器外殼。電線16以足以自加強件100之前側突出至少數英寸之握持長度之一長度自一傳入電纜抽出。此允許技師在進行壓接與剪切操作之前將電線拉緊。連接器外殼內部之電線之緊密度改良連接器之電效能。 Refer now to Figure 7, which shows the connector housing when loaded with insulated wires. The wire 16 is drawn out from an incoming cable with a length sufficient to protrude from the front side of the reinforcing member 100 by at least a few inches of grip length. This allows the technician to tighten the wires before performing crimping and cutting operations. The tightness of the wires inside the connector shell improves the electrical performance of the connector.

圖8以一較小比例再現圖7之經裝載外殼以提供用以示意性地圖解說明將如何進行壓接與剪切之空間。外殼上方之一手動工具300向下驅動箭頭301、302及303。箭頭301表示以在本人之先前專利中所展示之方式之塑膠外殼之壓接。箭頭302表示將所有葉片36驅動成與對應接觸葉片電嚙合之葉片驅動器。且箭頭303表示將切斷加強件100及其經包裝電線兩者之切割葉片60。該圖式之下部左拐角中所展示之一方塊400表示支撐加強件100之底部表面104之一砧座且葉片60將在其切割衝程結束時嚙合。 Fig. 8 reproduces the loaded housing of Fig. 7 in a smaller scale to provide a space for schematically illustrating how the crimping and cutting will be performed. A hand tool 300 above the housing drives arrows 301, 302, and 303 downward. Arrow 301 represents the crimping of the plastic shell in the manner shown in my previous patent. Arrow 302 represents a blade driver that drives all blades 36 into electrical engagement with corresponding contact blades. And the arrow 303 indicates the cutting blade 60 that cuts both the reinforcing member 100 and the packaged electric wire. A square 400 shown in the lower left corner of the figure represents an anvil supporting the bottom surface 104 of the reinforcement 100 and the blade 60 will engage at the end of its cutting stroke.

如圖9中所展示，加強件100在與外殼之前壁128分離之後仍使經絕緣電線16之其負載保留自其前側突出。接著不再需要該加強件且可將其處理掉。 As shown in FIG. 9, the reinforcing member 100 retains its load of the insulated wire 16 to protrude from its front side after being separated from the front wall 128 of the housing. The reinforcement is then no longer needed and can be disposed of.

如圖10中所展示，加強件100之移除已留下裸露前壁128，其中經絕緣電線之裸露端清晰可見。電線端不突出且必須不突出，否則將存在與母連接器電嚙合之一危險。為實現連接器之適當電功能，一定不能容忍彼情況。加強件之移除使外殼122之大小及形狀返回至工業及FCC標準，以便與一母RJ45連接器正確配合。 As shown in FIG. 10, the removal of the reinforcement 100 has left a bare front wall 128, where the bare ends of the insulated wires are clearly visible. The wire end does not protrude and must not protrude, otherwise there will be a danger of electrical engagement with the female connector. In order to achieve the proper electrical function of the connector, this situation must not be tolerated. The removal of the reinforcement allows the size and shape of the housing 122 to return to industry and FCC standards for proper mating with a female RJ45 connector.

操作方法 Method of operation

如上文所闡述，本發明之經修改連接器外殼製成為其中加強件或外部負載桿作為連接器外殼之一經整體形成之部分。四對經絕緣電線***至外殼122中且穿過外殼122並且穿過加強件中之上部孔145、下部孔144及孔146。導引電線對之方式使得每一電線對中之一個電線穿過一上部孔145突出，且每一電線對之另一電線穿過毗鄰之下部孔144或毗鄰之孔146突出。 As explained above, the modified connector housing of the present invention is made as an integrally formed part in which the reinforcement member or the external load rod is one of the connector housings. Four pairs of insulated wires are inserted into the housing 122 and pass through the housing 122 and through the upper hole 145, the lower hole 144, and the hole 146 in the reinforcing member. The wire pairs are guided so that one wire of each wire pair protrudes through an upper hole 145, and the other wire of each wire pair protrudes through an adjacent lower hole 144 or an adjacent hole 146.

在剪切加強件及經包裝電線端之前，技師將檢查電線之色彩編碼以驗證其等正確位置。技術員接著藉由拉動電線對中之每一者之突出端而較佳地拉伸該電線對。這樣做之目的係使連接器內部之每一電線對儘可能接近於分別相關聯之接觸葉片。此對於最大化連接器之電效能係基本的。 Before cutting the reinforcement and packaging the wire ends, the technician will check the color coding of the wires to verify their correct positions. The technician then preferably stretches the wire pair by pulling the protruding end of each of the wire pairs. The purpose of this is to make each wire pair inside the connector as close as possible to the respectively associated contact blade. This is essential for maximizing the electrical performance of the connector.

本人已修改本人之壓接與剪切工具50、70以提供使砧座42之端延伸之兩個小支柱，使得所有八個電線將在切割葉片60之一單遍次中被切割。加強件直接安放在砧座上，其中在其底部表面與砧座之間不存在空間。在底部列之孔下方存在一可量測厚度之塑膠材料。當剪切發生時，葉片60首先切割上部孔145中之所有電線，且接著切割下部孔144中之所有電線，以及孔146中之電線。 I have modified my crimping and cutting tools 50, 70 to provide two small struts extending the end of the anvil 42 so that all eight wires will be cut in a single pass of the cutting blade 60. The reinforcement is placed directly on the anvil, where there is no space between its bottom surface and the anvil. There is a plastic material whose thickness can be measured under the holes in the bottom row. When cutting occurs, the blade 60 first cuts all the wires in the upper hole 145, and then cuts all the wires in the lower hole 144, and the wires in the hole 146.

在剪切完成之後，可將加強件-其現在自前壁128拆離-處理掉。接著，使連接器外殼122移動成與一相關聯母插座配合嚙合，從而使母插座之接觸插腳與接觸葉片36嚙合。在需要或期望之情況下，可接著進行效能測試。 After the shearing is complete, the reinforcement-which is now detached from the front wall 128-can be disposed of. Then, the connector housing 122 is moved to engage with an associated female socket, so that the contact pins of the female socket are engaged with the contact blades 36. When needed or desired, performance testing can then be performed.

雖然本人已詳細闡述本人之發明以便符合專利法規之要求，但將理解，本人之保護範疇將僅根據隨附申請專利範圍來判定。 Although I have elaborated on my invention in order to comply with the requirements of the patent regulations, I understand that the scope of my protection will only be determined based on the scope of the attached patent application.
